I had a blue phase But it wasn’t a sad phase More of a ‘you’ phase Because you are so blue To your very core But a happy overly friendly and helpful blue With its sorrows hidden away in its rich depth And purple undertones After meeting you And being with you It’s impossible not to associate you with blue Considering your slightly insane obsession with it But it’s also funny Since blue is the ocean, the river, the deep cool lake Or the overly chlorinated public pool And you can’t swim a stroke Oh irony… You are irony The nice guy that wouldn’t ever hurt me But who made me hurt myself the most Trying to protect The one I was already so close to A relationship shouldn’t have been much of a stretch But the one I ended up farthest from The one who wrote melodies in scores Just for me But the reason I stopped playing Music reminds me too much of you You are music The deep melodic kind that touches the soul The way you touched my heart Gently and sweet So moving and tear jerking In you sad purple undertones You are rain That slips through my fingertips Leaving only the vague impression of ever being there at all Only a slight bit of azure beneath my nails But you are flames across my heart Scarring deeper than you’ll ever know Warmer than I’ve been in the longest time You are the sun Warming everything about you And shedding bright light on all my flaws You are wind Whispering your way in through the cracks in my soul But intangible as ever Still you push through Leaving blue in your wake On my sunglasses That block out the sun and your brilliance Because it hurts so much when I’m so dull My candles That feed my pyromaniac addiction to flames I’m just always addicted to that which can bring me pain My clothes The ones I bought just to please you And to get your attention of course Even my diary Where all my laments over you reside Blue Like you I had a blue phase And I can’t seem to get rid of it
